Arlington, TX

Remember the Castle Pines Apartments and all their code violations? Now a boy has been found dead in their swimming pool. 2 year old Josiah Myles was found floating in the pool about 9:00 am on Sunday. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 9:45 am.  According to police, Josiah was home with his 3-year-old brother and their mother while their father was at work. The mother woke up about 9 am and asked where Josiah was, and the 3-year-old said he was in the water. The city says none of the code violations in July were related to the pool, but it has been closed now because the gate will not lock properly.

Police are trying to identify a body that was found floating on the Fort Worth side of Lake Arlington about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. Authorities believe that it is the body of a woman, but cannot be sure of the race or sex because the body was so badly decomposed. Fishermen found the body floating in a small cove south of the Handley generating plant’s hot water discharge pipe.

Four people were injured and the eastbound lanes of Interstate 20 at Texas 360 were shut down for more than an hour Sunday because of an accident about 5:15 p.m. Mathew Eugene McCall, a passenger in one of the vehicles wanted the driver to exit Interstate 20. Police say McCall grabbed and turned the steering wheel, causing the Kia Spectra he was riding in to crash into a Chevrolet Blazer also traveling east on I-20, according to authorities. The Blazer overturned and came to rest in the inside lane of the 2500 block of I-20. McCall tried to drive away but was detained by a witness, police said. McCall was arrested and was in the Arlington Jail late Sunday accused of intoxicated assault, driving with an invalid license and driving while intoxicated (added because he tried to drive away from the scene). Bail was set at $3,600.
